#212: "I'm Not Ashamed" by Abigail Duhon

Send us Fan Mail

I discovered the difference between being "shamed" and being "ashamed" through my study this week. Abigail Duhon's song, "I'm Not Ashamed," leads us to Romans 1 and Paul's famous declaration,  "I am not ashamed of the gospel."

Exploring and meditating on this Scripture will really change the way you think...if you let it.

On this episode I discuss:

• Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include:
  • Meditating on God's Word
  • Read in context
  • Slow down
  • Write down your observations
  • Complete a word study
• Pondering what leads to feelings of being ashamed
• Considering details of the gospel learned from Romans 1:1-7
• To whom Paul is obligated as revealed in Romans 1:8-15
• The response of others to the gospel - 1 Corinthians 1:22-23
• How Jesus responded to shame - Hebrews 12:1-3
• How we will endure shame, considering it's insignificant compared to the power of salvation
• The assignment to keep reading in Romans 1 to see Paul's exposition of sin
• How a discussion of common sins may make us feel uncomfortable
• How we should be more ashamed of sin than of the gospel

This Week's Challenge Read Romans chapter 1 in context. Slow down and make some observations as you work your way through the verses. If a word jumps out at you, spend some time meditating on it. Consider what makes you more ashamed, the gospel or your sin?
